Event Description

Medical records received were reviewed by a clinician to identify patient harms/product issues. Patient received left primary attune tka to treat severe left knee osteoarthritis. The patella was resurfaced and depuy cement x 3 was utilized. The procedure was completed without complications. Patient received left knee revision due pain and joint instability secondary to tibial tray loosening. Pre-incision passive range of motion (rom) under anesthesia revealed the left knee to be grossly unstable. The surgeon notes the left knee rom was approximately 10 degrees hyperextension and 115 degrees flexion due to limitations caused by the patient¿s large body habitus. Upon entering the joint, the surgeon identified and debrided synovitis. The tibial tray was loosened and completely debonded at the cement to implant interface. There was a substantial medial tibial defect. The femoral component was well-fixed but revised. The patella was well-fixed and retained. There was no reported product problem with the explanted tibial insert. The patient was revised with competitor products. The procedure was completed without complications.
